I believe the board are being frugal with the funds being made available simply because a) we have a large squad already and there isn’t room for anymore players without leaving them unable to play in the league (like Adebayor at City before he moved to spurs on loan) and b) our wage budget is very high and we could do with getting a few high profile names off of it such as Bendtner, Almunia, Denilson, Vela to free up space in the budget for other players wages.

The problem with that is none of the players you mention would be high profile anywhere else because all of them are just not good enough.

Wenger is partly to blame for that because he needs to start buying players that have made it, so, they aren’t going to let him down, but, all the players you mention haven’t reached their potential, and, have let him down.

Rich is right in that trying to be equable and sensible, and not having a hissy fit because of the perceived failings of the Board or the manager does not make it any easier to overcome the sheer disappointment of another Arsenal loss.
It always hurts. It will always hurt.

But the joy of winning is also there and I have simply always loved watching our great club’s teams over the years, at whatever level, youth, reserves or first team. And I always will.
